Teach Me: What Do You Really Learn in Cosmetology School Anyway?

Okay so you’ve thought about beauty school…in fact, you’ve thought about it so much you are starting to look at schools.  Online research is how most of us gather information these days; I don’t think I will get too many people disputing that.  Each school will have a nice looking website without a doubt, but it does not really create a great visual for what you learn once you’re there.  “Hair.”  That is probably what anyone on the street would say if you asked them what you learn in cosmetology school.  And they would be right, because hair is definitely a major component of what cosmetology school curriculums consist of.  But don’t be deceived; there is quite a bit more to cosmetology than just “hair”.  In fact, when I myself decided to go to Cosmetology School, I had no idea that it was anything beyond just learning how to do hair

    Hi, im 16 years old & i want to get a head start on my cosmetology skills while still in highschool . Is there a way i could do that ?

  • As a young person I would say to start out by enrolling in high school classes that have anatomy so that you may have a head start on the body and how it works, if your school offers a cosmetology training take those classes also. Do lots of reading about the hair “how it is made up” as well as Nails and skin. In this field there are many jobs you can have from working as a plate form artist to medical office to working in a salon or spa or even owning your own salon and many more positions. Hope this helps you Good Luck

    Hi Joleen,

    To answer your question their is a way that you can get started with your cosmetology skills in high school, the high school I went to offered a cosmetology class for 10th-12th graders, I also know that there might be some cosmetology schools that let you join their program at a certain age but you have to keep your grades and attendance up.

  • Hi Joleen,
    Yes definitely you can join any cosmetology school while pursuing your High School. I would suggest you to google and try to find “cosmetology courses” or something related, and i am sure you will get many beauty school websites that offers scholarships and provide classes to high school students. Good Luck for Your Beauty Career!

    Thanks
